She Wanted Smoother Skin, But Awoke With Bigger Breasts
by Marrecca Fiore
A German woman is suing after doctors augmented her breasts, adding silicone implants when all she asked for was smoother skin.
Comment below.


… and the problem?
ok, so where is the problem? She will make new friends.
WHATS THE PROBLEM
No pics? hehe
I bet her husband had something to do with it. “Hey doc, can you make them a little bigger?”
This is the 2nd story I’ve heard like this in the past couple of weeks. And it also involved German doctors. I believe that other story I heard was about a lady going in for leg surgery and woke up with a new anus. Don’t these doctors discuss with their patients what kind of surgery they’re going to be performing??? Or are they just looking at the patients and saying “Hmm, she looks like she could use a new butthole” ? That’s just crazy!
Wow, that’s one hell of a debilitating wrinkle
What’s the rest of the story and what exactly did this woman think they were going to do? When you lose weight you have sagging skin. How did this she think they were going to “smooth” out her skin without either removing the excess skin or enlarging the breast? I find it hard to believe that they gave her a $5000+ breast augmentation and it wasn’t discussed with her and money paid prior to the surgery.
Boy, I’d like to go in for wrinkle surgery and come out with boobs. Did she want them cut off instead?
Boy, I’d like to have that problem. What did she want them to do, cut them off?
I bet that pulled all the wrinkles out. Isn’t that what she wanted?
She’s upset but her husband? He’s coping with it the best he can.
Sounds to me like the wrinkle issue was taken care of.
I’ll bet her husband had a hand in this.
So, first it was a lady wanting leg surgery and getting a new butt, and now this? I guess all that about German precision is just a myth, huh? Porsche owners may want to have their vehicles checked, if Germany’s this prone to screwups where it counts. I’m surprised they didn’t try to do prostate surgery on her.
Is that a BAD thing?
This is worth following!!!! If she wins I’m going to contact her council next time I open my paycheck expecting to have my normal pay and find that somebody put a huge bonus in there. THE TRAVESTY!!!!
It’s probably the only way they knew to prop up saggy breast.
So Docs don’t want to listen to patients… makes me wonder why we’re surprised that they keep getting sued for this sort of thing. Oh, and please notice that Germany has UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE! Hint hint.
She’s 33. How many wrinkles could she have?
Jessica you are too funny! Thanks for the laugh this morning… I totally agree with you.
Happy Birthday to her Husband/Boyfriend………
Doesn’t Germany have nationalized health care? I am starting to think that maybe the US should have national health care!!!
I’m sure the wrinkles are gone now. At least she didn’t get a new bung hole…
AT LEAST THE WRINKLES ARE GONE AND SHE HAS SOME BIGGER BOOBIES NOW SO WHY IS SHE COMPLAINING? AT LEAST THEY LEFT HER BUNG HOLE ALONE
Perhaps physicians in the U.S. do a more thorough job of pre-op discussion of the planned surgical procedure with their patients than they do in other countries. Any operation I have had was explained to me in advance, along with discussion of possible complications, risks, etc.
The surgeon, however, is not the only one who has a responsibility in the communication process.
The patient has an obligation to ask enough questions to feel that they are satisfied that they have all the information needed prior to proceeding with the surgical procedure.
I hope this patient will have a good recovery from her surgery, and will find that the long-term outcome of this “error” is not so bad after all.
I know that we make mistakes here in the U.S but here lately it seems like a bunch of errors have been made overseas.
Well if they didn’t fix the wrinkles, at least people won’t be looking at them.
“There’s no way we can fix this. Boys, she’s wrinkly as a pug. I know, we can focus attention somewhere else, pass me those implants.” -Dr. Knockerz
Silicone is a foreign substance which she did not opt to have put in her body so I understand that point of view.
What I do not understand is that the wrinkle removing surgery on that particular part of the body seems to be a bit unique, which, logically, would have been a topic of discussion and exceptional consideration on the part of the operating team.
There appears to be a complete breakdown of communication at the hospital which means that other people who are patients are at risk. My golden rule is “do not sue” but in this case, of gross negligence, it could save lives.
If you’ll note, she recently lost 200 lbs. And she wanted to “remove some wrinkles” after losing some weight. Those boobs were probably so stretched out and floppy that the only way to get rid of the wrinkles was to fill the boobs back up with something!
It’s hard for me to believe she didn’t know this was going to happen. I don’t think this is a “usual” practice. I guess I’d have to put myself in that position - I guess I’d rather have the implants than have a bunch of my skin cut off & tossed out! She actually made out better - in my opinion.
I’ll bet the wrinkles are gone!
As I started to read the article, my first thought was that of course they put in implants; it’s the only way to fix sagging breasts. Look on any cosmetic surgeon’s website for “breast lift”, and you’ll see that the procedure involves scars very similar to a breast reduction along with implants. Extreme weight loss like hers involves an enormous reduction in breast volume, since the breasts are essentially just glands and fat, and only the fat increases in weight gain. There is only just so much of the stretched-out skin that can be removed, and the rest of the slack has to be taken up by implants.
It’s hard to imagine that all of this wasn’t explained to her ahead of time as part of her pre-operative informed consent, but I have found that sometimes patients don’t remember everything that is being told them, since there is such a huge volume of information to process about the procedure, risks, and general logistics of having the surgery. As an obgyn, I spend so much time in preoperative counseling that I often run overtime and make my other patients angry that I am running late.
Perhaps she’s unhappy about the size of the implants and they had to make a decision intraoperatively to use a larger implant because of the sheer volume of skin that had to be removed otherwise, or maybe there was an error made in thetype of implant (silicone vs. saline.) Whenever you see an article like this that has been re-reported several times, you have to know that some of the information has been inadvertently lost or mis-reported.
I WOULD BE PISSED TOO! THE BIGGER THE BOOBS THE HARDER THEY HANG. EVENTUALLY THE LADIES OF THE BIGGER SIDE HAVE TO LIFT THEM OFF THEIR STOMACHS AND LAPS TO OFFER THEM TO A MAN. YUCK
at least her wrinkles are gone.
Bigger breast add frontal weight which should pull the wrinkles in her face to make her face smoother. Ingenuis concept by the doctor.
I hope she didn’t have to pay for them. They should at least be “On the house.”
Maybe it was a special-Free boobs with wrinkle removal…
She better not loose any more weight or they’ll have to put in butt implants to take up the saggy skin.
How does a doctor (professional) go from smooth skin to breast implants?
I guess on my side it wouldn’t be so much of a problem
Why sue the surgeons? They took the wrinkles out!
well, that WOULD eliminate wrinkles!
Maybe her doctors were ‘Hanz’ and ‘Franz’… We’re here to ‘Pump you Up’.
So… if this woman lost 200 lbs there is no way she had “wrinkles” this lady must have had excess skin…How the heck else could they get rid of it.. either cut the skin off or take up some of the excess space. I understand the whole problem of a foreign substance in her body she didn’t ask for but it seems like there is a lack of communication or understanding of what it might take to get rid of excess skin.. And come one bigger tatas for free what a deal.
Hooray for bewbiez!
You can’t just tust doctors, so many people are scared or killed by physicians who screw up medical procedures.
Try to sue them, especially in California, they own the State legislaturem, you can’t beat them even when their conduct is outragous.
Pick your Doctor well, or u won’t be.
I know a guy whose wife had breast reduction surgery (she was huge/beautiful). We (his guy friends) sent him sympaty cards…
Boobs for the price of wrinkles, what a deal!
The docs probably decided to throw them in for free as part of the package…so what?
Well, she got rid of some of the wrinkles…
Those Germans sure are some kinky folks..
That’s one way to get rid of the wrinkles…
The only thing I would sue for is a new wardrobe since she can’t button her old shirts anymore!
i cannot believe that some of you people would say what’s the problem? Not to mention the psychological aspect, maybe she will absolutely HATE the look on her. What then? Maybe she didn’t even like the C cup she had. Sometimes I find mine to be very inhibiting believe it or not! I really would not mind a B cup at certain times, like when I’d like to go braless in the summer…. It’s just like straight/curly hair. If yours is straight you would give anything to have curls. If you have massive curls, you want straight hair (without going through all the make it straight, make it curly crap each morning)
I bet George Bush is responsible for this!
She lost weight and has a new body, gets implants that’ll get her plenty of attention, and money from the doc……. What more could she ask for?
What is the problem here???
I wonder if her significant other played any role in this “mistake”.. lol.
I want to thank each and everyone of you posters for the most enjoyable morning ever! Your comments - each one of them - brought a new laugh!
Everyone seems on the same page this morning. Thanks for a GREA morning -
each comment better than the last!
Give her a week !!! When all the dogs start salivating all over her mellons, she will forget all about a lawsuit !!!!
Jessica’s sidesplitting comment aside, I have complete sympathy for the woman. She probably feels that if she wanted big boobs…she would have kept the originals!
If she lost 200 pounds, she NEEDED a breast augmentation…who’s she trying to kid!!!
Hmmm… I dont see no problem here. But, if she sues she will most likely win the case and she will keep the big boobies.
Most likely she will end up using the money she wins from the lawsuit to have further alterations made to her appearance. This is the normal route taken with people who lose a substantial amount of weight such as this. The doctor was probably just doing her a favor with the enhancement. Do I believe this makes what the doctor did right? Of course not.
Isn’t this the same country that gave a different woman a new anus when she went in for leg surgery? Do they have National Health Insurance…
Bet the wrinkles are gone! Too funny.
I think these german doctors have got their minds somewhere else, last week it was a new anus on a lady who needed leg surgery and this week it’s bigger boobs on a lady who wanted wrinkles removed….hmmmm wonder whats next? Can hardly wait for next weeks headlines:Man goes in for hernia surgery and comes out with a penile implant.
So.. Did the implants get the wrinkles out?
Now, I can understand why she is upset, namely the method of wrinkle removal was not what she envisioned. But what I do not understand is on what grounds is she suing? Her chest wrinkles are gone! Isn’t that what she wanted?
I’m planing on having that done…..I just hope they don’t add third one.
What the heck is up with people commenting on this site. Is it just me or is everyone just saying the same thing (some in a different way) over and over. I’ve seen several people say “I bet her husband had something to do with it.” or “Good thing she didn’t get another butt.” or “I bet the wrinkles are gone.” or “How did she think they’d get rid of the wrinkles.”
Congrates on the weight loss… What type of diet was she on??? I want to know…. Not interested in the botch surgey though….
Ok! So is it possible that if she was ignorant enough to go on a ‘crash diet’ to lose weight, that maybe she was too ignorant when the Doctors told her in her consultation that the only way to tighten that loose skin, without stupid looking scars, would be to enhance the breast? However, if they did put fake boobies in without informing her, that is a no no. I still say…she should just accept her new boobies and tighter chest skin area and move on. She probably got it cheaper than what the rest of the boob lacking female population pay for theirs.
She gets new sweater bunnys and will get hundreds of thousands of dollars,her husband is happy.
They will both be laughing all the way to the bank. Love those crazy Germans!
That’s why, when a relative or I have had a surgical procedure, I explain to the surgeon that, while he is, after all, dealing with a number of variables, if he screws up real bad, his hands will be broken for free. The doctor and patient should always agree upon the rules of the knife fight.
When you deal with a ‘profession’ (doctors and attorneys in particular) that “practices” for a living, you must make sure that you do not expect to be “practiced upon.” The real world expects a ‘professional’ to do his or her job. I figure that if the idiot is still ‘practicing,’ he should pay me to hold still for him to continue to practice.
Would you go to an auto mechanic if he said he was “practicing?”
Does anyone else notice all of the Huge medical mistakes made in Germany?
I’d like to participate in a surgery that would remove some excess stomach fat and transfer it to Mr Happy by accident. I won’t complain!!
Having your breasts made bigger would remove wrinkles on your chest. I have a hard time believing that a plastic surgeon would give her implants without explaining all the benefits and risks. Surgery of this kind requires signing releases.
Maybe that was HOW they smoothed the wrinkles. Get over it
I wonder if the wrinkles went away?
Later her husband was quoted as saying …..”first time in years her boobbs are bigger than her butt”
Hey Walter, lighten up buddy. What do you think these blogs are for???? Chill.
Wow she got a $5,000.00 boob job for free, I bet her husband is happy.
At least she didn’t end up with a new anus like the lady that went in for the leg operation!
As far as plastic surgery mistakes go, this is not so bad…
Dude, if I woke up and the doctors had changed the size of my chest, I’d be furious, too. The whole point of the surgery was that she lost a lot of weight, hence the wrinkles. Who’s to say her breasts weren’t already big?
Besides, no one wants to be changed without knowing that that change is going to be.
Ok so whats the problem? she’s 33 yrs old and she has D cup breasts now. Be happy with what you got. men will not be looking at your wrinkles anymore. They will be staring at the newly formed Twins haha.
Unbelievable!! It was just a few weeks ago that another woman in Germany woke up to a new anus instead of the leg surgery she was supposed to get. Same hospital..anyone know??
Breast implants are a common part of a “breast lift” procedure. She should have read the fine print on her contract.
please tell me about the diet
I am thinking the Doctor’s should counter sue her to make her pay for the procedure.. Why not give them a chance to fix it instead of just instant lawsuit. I love how everyone is just looking for a get rich quick scheme. Work for you money, sheesh lady it could be worse, they could have given you a penis or something..
Ok but - I bet that by increasing the size, the wrinkles were removed. Not seeing the problem here.
Better than going in for a boob job and coming out with wrinkles instead, I reckon.
betcha those german surgeons trained at kaiser hospital…LOL
I have to say that wasnt that bad of a mistake y
